him alone all men will believe on him Et veninnt Romani and the Romanes will come and take away both our place and our Nation Here was a causelesse cry against Christ that the Romanes would come and see how just the Judgement of God was they crucified Chriss for feare least the Romanes should come and his death was that that brought in the Romanes upon them God punishing them with that which they most feared and I pray God this clamour of veniunt Romani of which I have given to my knowledge no just cause helpe not to bring him in for the Pope never had such a Harvest in England since the Reformation as he hath now upon the Sects and divisions that are amongst us in the meane time by honour and dishonour by good report and evill report as a deceiver and yet true am I now passing out of this world Some particulars also I thinke not amisse to speak of and first this I shall be bold to speake of the King our gracious Soveraigne He hath been much traduced by some for labouring to bring in Poperie but upon my conscience of which I am now going to give God a present account I know him to bee as free from this Charge I thinke as any man living and I hold him to be as sound a Protestant according to the Religion by Law established as any man in this Kingdome and that he will venter his Life as farre and as freely for it and I thinke I doe or should know both his affections to Religion and His grounds upon which that affection is built as fully as any man in England The second particular is concerning this great and populous City which God blesse here hath been of late a fashion to gather bands and then go to the Honourable and great Court of the Kingdome the Parliament clamour for Justice as if that great wise Court before whom the causes come which are unknown to many could not or would not do Justice but at their call and appointment a way which may endanger many innocent man and pluck innocent bloud upon their own heads and perhaps upon this Citie also which God forbid and this hath been lately practiz'd against my self God forgive the setters of this with all my heart I beg it but many well meaning people are caught by it In S. Stephens case when nothing else would serve they stirred up the people against him Acts 6. and Herod went just the selfe same way for when he had killed Saint Iames hee would not venture upon S. Peter too till he saw how the people took it and were pleased with it in the 12 of the Acts. But take heed of having your hands full of bloud in the first of Isaiah for there is a time best known to himselfe when God amongst other sinnes makes inquisition for bloud and when inquisition is on foot Psalmest tells us Psal. 9. that God remembers that is not all that God remembers and forgets not saith the Prophet the complaint of the poore and hee tells you what poore they are in the ninth verse the poore whose bloud is shed by such kind of means Take heed of this It is a fearfull thing at any time to fall into the hands of the living God in the 12. of the Hebrews but it is fearfull indeed and then especially when he is making his Inquisition for bloud and therefore with prayer to advert the prophesie from the Citie let me desire that this my cup would remember the Prophesie that is expressed Ier. 26. 15 The third particular is this poore Church of England that hath flourished and been a shelter to other neighbouring Churches when stormes have driven on them but alas now it is in a storme it self and God knows whether or how it shall get out and which is worse then a storme from without it is become like an Oake cleft to shivers with wedges made out of its owne body and that in every cleft prophanesse and irreligion is creeping in apace while as Prosper saith Men that introduce prophanesse are cloacked with a name of imaginarie religion for wee have in a manner almost lost the substance and dwell much nay too much a great deale in opinion and that Church which all the Jesuites machinations in these parts of Christendome could not ruine is now fallen into a great deal of danger by her owne The last particular for I am not willing to be tedious I shall hasten to go out of this miserable world is my self and I beseech you as many as are within hearing observe me I was borne and baptized in the bosome of the Church of England as it stands yet established by Law in that profession I have ever since lived and in that profession of the Protestant Religion here established I come now to die this is no time to dissemble with God least of all in matter of Religion and therefore I desire it may be remembred I have alwayes lived in the Protestant Religion established in England and in that I come now to die what Clamors and Slanders I have endured labouring to keep an Vniformity in the external service of God according to the Doctrine and Discipline of this Church all men knows I have abundantly felt Now at last I am accused of high Treason in Parliament a crime which my soul ever abhorred This Treason was charged upon me to consist of two parts An endeavour to subvert the Law of the Realme and a like to overthrow the true Protestant Religion established by those Lawes Besides my answers which I gave to the severall Charges I protested my innocency in both Houses It was said Prisoners Protestations at the Barre must not be taken de ipso I can bring no witnesse of my heart and the intentions thereof therefore I must come to my Protestation not at the Barre but to my Protestation at this houre and instant of death in which as I said before I hope all men will be such charitable Christians as not to thinke I would die and dissemble my Religion I doe therefore here with that caution that I delivered before without all prejudice in the world to my Judges that are to proceed secundum allegata probata and so to be understood I die in the presence of Almighty God and all his holy and blessed Angels and I take it now on my death that I never endeavoured the subversion of the Laws of the Realme nor never any change of the Protestant Religion into Popish superstition and I desire you all to remember this Protest of mine for my innocency in these and from all manner of Treasons whatsomever I have been accused likewise as an enemie to Parliaments no God forbid I understood them and the benefits that comes by them a great deal too well to bee so but I did indeed dislike some misgovernments as I conceived of some few one or two Parliaments And I did conceive humbly that I
